Jade Fiber: Shuttling between Traditional Culture and Modern Craftsmanship

Jade occupies a pivotal position in China's traditional culture, and from ancient times to the present day, there is the saying that a gentleman wears jade. Especially in ancient times, people regarded jade as a treasure, and wearing jade became a symbol of wealth and noble character for ancient gentlemen. In modern times, with the development of excavation techniques and equipment, a variety of new pit jade types continue to emerge. Among them, Huanglong jade, Gobi jade, etc. are the representatives.

Currently in China's textile and apparel industry has begun to use the jade fiber, is the use of extraction and nanotechnology, so that jade and other mineral materials to the sub-nanometer level, and then fused into the polyester spinning melt, by spinning process and made. It can be blended with cotton, wool, silk, hemp, and chemical fiber staple fibers as well as pure spinning, and is therefore used in a large number of knitting, weaving, and other weaving processes.

Its deep cultural heritage has created its glory

In the marketing process of jade fiber and its products, its health effects have been the hotspot of the merchants selling. It is said to be based on the "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Tang Materia Medica" and other transmitted ancient medical books on the record, jade has? In addition to heat in the stomach, to calm the soul, to benefit the blood, to brighten the ears and eyes, and so on a series of miraculous effects. and a series of other miraculous effects. However, ancient medical practitioners were limited by the means of research and scientific knowledge, and it is difficult for us to ascertain today whether the records are free from any errors or flaws. Therefore, the business for jade fiber health care effects of publicity, our consumers are best to take? Take it with a grain of salt.

In fact, it's a good idea to take a look at the whole thing.

In fact, most consumers are attracted to jade fiber, but also because jade in our country in ancient times contains a profound brand of power. As early as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period in China, there is a clear hierarchy of the use of jade. The so-called ? The king of ZhenGui, the male executing HuanGui, the marquis executing XinGui, uncle executing bowGui, son executing GuBi, male executing PuBi?

Before the reform and opening up, the people of our country were busy running around in order to have enough to eat. At that time, people's willingness to pursue jade and jadeware was not strong. To the reform and opening up after a few years, along with the people's living standard greatly improved, for improving the quality of life also have a relatively strong desire. As a result, the jade industry was once? The price of jade has increased exponentially. The price of jade also increased exponentially. For a while, the streets and alleys can see a lot of people with jade pendants, earrings. Naturally, there is no lack of glass masquerading as jade, dyeing jadeite and so on. However, we are not overly concerned, it is just a jade name can bring their own good luck.

In the blink of an eye, jade fiber and its textile and clothing products came out of nowhere. The majority of consumers naturally transfer the worship of jade to its above. During the National Day, in a department store in Chengdu, I saw many consumers scrambling to buy jade fiber socks scene. That gesture is no less than a rush, so that the number of people after the day to think back is still fresh in their minds.

Jade fiber and its textiles in the publicity claimed another major advantage, is that it is wearing up the human body will feel cooler. As we all know, touching a stone in the summer heat will feel cooler than touching a piece of wood. In fact, the human body's perception of temperature is realized through the speed of heat emission from the skin. Stones conduct heat better than wood, so when touching cool iron and stone, heat is transferred quickly, and the body will feel cooler than wood. It's a simple physical phenomenon, and even if it's not jade or just an ordinary pebble will feel cooler. Of course, no one has yet used pebbles in the textile and clothing industry. Therefore, the cool performance of jade fiber still has a certain advantage of taking.

It is understood that there are tests to prove that in the 32 degrees Celsius environment made of jade fibers from the clothing can be relatively cooled nearly 2 degrees Celsius. It is also because of the coolness of jade fiber, it is mainly made into intimate underwear, socks and sportswear.

In fact, China is not only one of the world's leading jade producers, but its people are also at the forefront of the world's use of jade. From ancient times to the present, jade has been widely used in furniture, decorations, musical instruments and so on. After the reform and opening up of China, the people's conception of improving the quality of life has changed significantly. Not only are they concerned about how to eat well and healthily, but they have also begun to pay attention to how to dress healthily and comfortably. This, we can see from the recent years the rapid development of textile and apparel with new fiber raw materials continue to emerge.

In recent years, the jade fiber industry has developed rapidly, the technology is relatively more mature. Accompanied by the realization of jade fiber industrialization, for the richness of China's textile materials as well as the development of jade application of a whole new field have certain benefits. At the same time, the emergence of jade fiber also gives the textile fibers and textiles a new function, greatly improving the added value of the product, so that the majority of jade fibers as well as jade fiber textile production enterprises to obtain a real benefit.

Modern technology to promote its promotion

It is understood that jade fiber is a new type of raw material for taking fibers independently researched and developed by scientists and technologists in China. It began in 2006, began to appear in China's textile and clothing market. However, the real take-off of jade fiber is still to be traced back to 2010 later. The reason for this is mainly because with the improvement and innovation of jade fiber technology, a series of bottlenecks such as dyeing difficulties, poor warmth and other barriers have been completely broken. And, these process improvements, innovation also further enhance the fiber characteristics of jade fiber, for its better acceptance by the market to provide a quality assurance.

Speaking of a new fiber raw materials how to be accepted by the market, the essence of the equivalent of asking consumers:? Why do you want to wear clothing products made of jade fiber? Undoubtedly, the consumer's good and bad, is to determine a textile and apparel product vitality of the most important factors.

During the National Day in Chengdu, a shopping mall witnessed the socks of jade fiber socks, I took the opportunity to ask an elderly consumer did not squeeze into the crowd of the above questions. The old man's attention is obviously still stuck in the rush to buy the crowd, she did not even think to tell me that, because of this jade fiber socks to wear cool, breathable.

Jade fiber wear cool reasons have been analyzed above, and its breathability is derived from the characteristics of the fiber itself. It is understood that the jade fiber's hollow structure of multiple micropores makes the fiber's specific surface area increase, the surface energy increases, the number of water molecules adsorbed on the surface of the number of hygroscopicity. Microporous fiber surface through to the hollow part, moisture can quickly invade from the fiber surface to the hollow part, due to capillary effect in the hollow part of the move to the outside, diffusion into outer space, rapid evaporation to the surrounding atmosphere, so that the fabric quickly dry, to achieve better perspiration, moisture absorption, fast drying effect. Some researchers have done a comparison test, the results show that jade fiber breathable, moisture permeability than polyester, polyester-cotton, modal and other fibers to be slightly better.

In addition, jade fiber anti-pilling, anti-pilling performance can reach more than 3.5 levels. Compared to ordinary polyester fabric is still slightly higher.

However, for some other characteristics of jade fiber, we need to be dialectical to judge. For example, the health effects of jade fiber, it is questionable. Some businessmen's propaganda pointed out that because jade contains a variety of beneficial trace elements, can enter the body through the human skin, so that some of the skin diseases caused by dampness and heat have a certain therapeutic effect. We do not say that the trace elements in jade can be absorbed through the skin in the end how much, even if the trace elements to cure the disease of this issue currently in the medical profession are still controversial. Therefore, the jade fiber can cure skin disease said that the relevant experts need to study to be further proved.

Then there is the merchants advocating the jade fiber can be beauty, with the effect of letting the wearer prolong life. We know from a lot of historical data that there are records of people taking jade powder to seek youthfulness for the infamous Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty. It is said that she used to massage her face with a jade stick, and she also took very fine jade powder to beautify her face. However, as we all know from the surviving photographs of Empress Dowager Cixi, this old lady did not look young at the time of her death, but rather, she looked particularly odd and old. Therefore, jade powder does not have the physical and scientific basis to make people stay young forever. Old age, sickness and death are the laws of development of human life. It will not be shifted by human will, much less because of some kind of object that violates the laws of nature.

I remember a recent TV program, I found a TV shopping program in a TV station is selling jade fiber production of women's underwear. A large group of models wearing this underwear in the show to the general audience, occasionally inserted into a picture is a foreigner? The expert? continues to advocate the miraculous effects of this jade fiber underwear. Its function and the usual underwear advertising is similar, nothing more than beauty, breast enhancement and so on. Then they give a market retail price of more than a thousand dollars, and then give a discount purchase price straight down by half, and then finally give a heartwarming price of more than half less, in order to attract cheap female consumers. However, in all fairness, such a substantial jump in the price of the product, whether or not it is really good value for money really makes people doubt.

In fact, a new textile and apparel fiber products, first of all, should follow the rules of the game is? Honesty? Two words. Throughout the years, a variety of new fiber raw materials on the market in China, almost no gimmick not to find self-hype. Put the deer for the horse, nothing is said to be alive and well. For jade fiber and its products, factually to consumers to show the fiber itself has some excellent characteristics, the right to know, the right to choose as much as possible to consumers, may be in China's textile and apparel market to gain a foothold.

Excellent quality is the guarantee of its development

At present, China's jade fibers are still mostly blended with other fibers in the form of appearing in front of consumers. When it comes to the quality of blended fabrics, the fiber content labeling is not allowed will certainly be the first time in everyone's mind. We review the various departments around the textile each time the results of the sampling is not difficult to find, most of the time the fiber content is unqualified textile quality is not qualified for a major reason.

At the same time, due to the price of jade fiber and polyester prices there is a certain difference between the price, so the jade fiber textiles in the middle of the false fiber content of the problem is objective, and is also the majority of consumers the most difficult to find a quality problem. Because even a professional inspector, only by feel can accurately determine the proportion of various fibers in the blended fabric is not rare.

As we all know, jade fiber is made by melting jade powder into polyester spinning melt. However, our country has found . Jade species will be as high as 121 kinds. The price difference between various kinds of jade at different times and in different regions is also quite huge. For example, the current market prices of jadeite from Burma and Xiuyan Jade from Liaoning are very different. There is no definite conclusion as to which type of jade is more suitable for making jade fibers. Therefore, in many cases, consumers are still in the dark about jade fibers. Fog see the flowers?

These are the first time I've seen a jade fiber in the market.

In early May 2013, Ms. Wang, a member of the public in an online business to buy a labeled jade fiber 40%, soybean fiber and cotton 30% of the seven-minute small feet pants. According to the introduction of the merchant said that the fabric of the pants, combined with the excellent characteristics of the three fibers, to complement each other to achieve a cross-generation effect of taking. Ms. Wang has never heard of jade fiber fabric clothing, so hold the mood to try to buy a pair.

A few days later, the pants were delivered to her doorstep by courier. After the usual washing before wearing, the problem arose. The pants, which have a cross-generational take effect of the small feet, have shrunk to ? small feet? Even Ms. Wang, who has a slim figure and slender thighs, could not wear them. But strangely enough, the pants did not produce shrinkage of the hip circumference and other places. When she found the business theory, the business is a bite is her own measurement wrong size. In accordance with the requirements of this pants can be exchanged for her, but because she has been washed, the business is not possible to return.

A small foot pants dispute, and ultimately Ms. Wang's default end. In fact, for Ms. Wang encountered this situation, I also consulted a number of clothing experts. But we are almost all confused, and told never encountered such a situation. In view of their own does not understand the design concept of small pants, can not be sure whether all small pants are large hip and foot tube thin. Therefore, in the case of many counseling in the case of the author also had to stop.

It is worth noting that consumers do not usually go to great lengths to find a textile and apparel product quality defects, especially online shopping, more often than not, even if the product has a little problem consumers are also on their own. After all, the cost of transportation back and forth has been higher than the cost of dealing with minor quality problems.

It is understood that, at present, in China's textile and apparel market, jade fibers are mostly cool fiber fabrics. That is to say, the cool characteristics of jade fiber has basically been generally recognized by all parties. As China's textile and garment fiber industry, a member of the family, jade fiber promotion does enrich our raw materials market. However, due to the vast number of consumers for jade fiber awareness, understanding is still relatively low, but also led to the jade fiber industry in the individual unscrupulous traders wantonly speculation of its fiber properties, to guide the ordinary consumers who do not know the high price to buy. However, as a fiber variety that needs to be invincible in the market for a long time, this approach is tantamount to killing the chicken

Taking the eggs, obviously is not right.

For the majority of China's jade fiber production enterprises and even jade fiber products enterprises, how to ensure product quality is the core issue that enterprises need to grasp. A textile and apparel enterprises because of the quality of the product, once in the industry and the market caused by bad or bad influence, and then want to undo it is not an easy thing, the consequences will be to cut off their own future. This is by no means alarmist, know: thousands of miles of dike, destroyed in an ant hole.
